Best known for her masterpieces "Middlemarch "and "Silas Marner,"
George Eliot (1819-1880) was both one of the most brilliant writers
of her day, and one of the most talked about. Intellectual and
independent, she had the strength to defy polite society with her
highly unorthodox private life which included various romances and
regular encounters with the primarily male intelligentsia. This
insightful and provocative biography investigates Eliot's life,
from her rural and religious upbringing through her tumultuous
relationship with the philosopher George Henry Lewes to her quiet
death from kidney failure. As each of her major works are also
investigated, Jenny Uglow attempts to explain why her characters
were never able to escape the bounds of social expectation as
readily as Eliot did herself.
